DVD-T Frequency Offsets?

I searched around the forum but could find nothing on the subject.

When I do an automatic scan for Digital Terrestial, Prog DVB misses out 3 of the 6 Multiplexors. I have since found out that a lot of Transmitter Multiplexors work on a frequency offset of +167khz, -167khz or none. If I amend these pre-set frequencies then ProgDVD scans and finds everything. Info can be found here:

Should this not be reflected in the frequency datalist that comes with Prog DVB or at least have the ability to save those frequencies so they are not overwritten when a new version is released?

I could find no information regarding frequency offsets anywhere regarding ProgDVD and thought this post might help others experiencing the same issue.

You can use *.ini format for self tables.

AFAIK, the offsets mentioned are a Great Britain only issue.
As with many BDA tuners even an existing automatical fine tuning does not work properly (thanks go to M$, for that weird and still far from complete driver model), you have to create and use a custom transponder list. Normally +/- 167 kHz should not matter at all. But with no working AFT...

As the PDF tells, that transponder frequencies aren't the same for all of your regions. That's why ProgDVB can't easily be prepared for this.
